Trogir is one of the most interesting cities in the whole of Croatia. It was founded in the third century by Greek colonists and has a rich history and well-preserved architecture. The center of Trogir, with its walls and towers, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is located on the shores of the Gulf of Kastelan in the Adriatic Sea, between the mainland and the island, and is connected by a stone bridge.
Why you should visit Trogir
You will visit both the mainland of Croatia and the island at the same time. Further towards the island, there are campsites for travelers with tents, various water activities, hotels, and bars.
One day will be enough to see all the sights, as they are located on a single square, Trg Ivana Pavla II.
The Cathedral of St. Lawrence, the City Hall, the Church of St. Sebastian and the Church of St. John the Baptist. Many other temples, churches, towers and ancient buildings formed the charming historic center of the city. One day is enough to see them all. But most likely you will want to stay longer to enjoy the atmosphere.
A little further from the center is the Camerlengo Fortress, which is worth seeing no less than other historical buildings in the city. On the other hand, there is a large park, and water transport runs from the piers to many nearby islands.
In general, the city’s location is ideal to stay in during your vacation. And already on the spot, plan day trips to different destinations: to the islands, to Sibenik or Split.
